About the Club
Originally founded as Whitley Bay Boys Club in 1960, the club became a registered charity as Whitley Bay Sporting Club in 2015, as well as being an FA Charter Standard Club.
The aims of the charity are to:
1. Promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities to play football
2. The advancement of children and young people’s education, whether undergoing formal education or not.
As an FA Charter Standard Club, the club operates to the highest standards set by the FA for football clubs. We encourage fair play and sportsmanship and praise performance and effort more than results.
For the current 2026-27 season, Whitley Bay Sporting Club has over 1,000 playing members and 66 teams, ranging from Under 7s, all the way through to adult sides, including 27 girls’ teams.
